So everyone the moment you've been waiting for...! Well several
moments I should say...ha ha! First some highlights from this week: *Drum Roll
Pleaseeee*
-I hit my 3rd Click Day on the 12th (WHOO 3
MONTHS!)
- I finished training: 12 weeks of learning, success and
rough times make for a great start to the mission
- Sister Hansen and I found an ACTUAL outhouse
#WelcomeToPA
- This weather has been so bipolar freezing cold and pouring
rain one day to bright, warm and sunny the next.
- While tracting we got to share the awesome "Because He
Lives" video and testify to (probably about a hundred) people on the doorstep
that Christ loves them - Even to the man that yelled from his balcony at us
ha,ha good times!
- We got to see a special preview of the new Christmas video: "A Savior is Born" (comes out the 29th of this month) IT WAS AWESOME!
#MissionaryPerks you all got to check it out when it comes out. It'll change
your life! 39 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!
LASTLY - TRANSFER CALLS: So I kinda got the feeling that I
would be staying because a few weeks ago when we had interviews with President
Johnson he asked if I was ready to take over the area (aka- be the senior comp
and lead) and he laughed when I expressed how nervous I was but would do what
the Lord needed...So Saturday morning while we are on our way to do service at
our Branch President's house we get a call. From none other than PRESIDENT
JOHNSON HIMSELF.. I was so confused because Sister Hansen said that normally transfer
calls come at night right before bed. But didn't dwell on it until she handed
the phone to me. President asked if I knew why he was calling and I said
"well it is transfer day so..." He said I was exactly right and he
was calling to tell me that Sister Hansen will be leaving and he was going to
tell me who my new companion is. He said I was a very special case however...OH
NO. Those words are never good. HA,HA! He said that he knew my companions name
but hasn't met her yet. Alright everyone take a pause in the story. SO this
transfer there are 3 new missionaries coming out. 2 Elders and 1 sister. 3!!!
Quite a huge difference to the almost 30 that came out with me. Well if you
haven't guessed by now - I am the ONE lucky sister in the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
Mission that gets to TRAIN this new sister coming out. Her name is Sister
Thorson and she looks cute from her picture! So we will see :) State College I
will be here for another 3 months ha,ha!
I feel so crazy overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, excited, worried,
and reallyyyyy inadequate. Out of all these well trained sisters in this
mission - President and the Lord want ME to train this sister?! Oh boy..I hope
I don't mess her up..But I know that if the Lord is going to ask me to do this
then He's gotta give me the strength and help my weaknesses become strengths.
So wish me luck!! I Love you all and appreciate the thoughts and prayers sent
my way. They truly make a difference and hope you feel my prayers for you in
return. Have a wonderful week all!
Love,
~Sister Kimber McDonald
